The actual percent of muslims living or in any area will dictate the level of problems. Keep importing muslims and these things will happen here.

When will those Frenchies enact common sense gun control? Oh, yeah they already did. Guess it doesn’t work. Did you ever wonder if something really was common sense would you have to preface it with the term common sense every time you mention it or wouldn’t common sense tell you that it was common sense instead of you having to constantly be told it its common sense. I mean that’s just common sense, right?
